I'm having chips and gravy.

It was chips and gravy and you think also a pint of beer, don't you?

Sorry, a bam.

It's a wig and kebab.

Forgive me.

And we've got a bam.

The regional variations on bread rolls in this country are kind of pretty spectacular, I think.

Around here, it's bam.

I think there's the things that you would expect to come through and have come through for a long time, especially in a constituency like this, where, you know, immigration and cost of living are at the top of people's lists on the doorstep.

And that's what comes through when you go out and talk to people.

I also think that there's kind of been a shift of the mood where at one point there was kind of a degree of apathy around politics.

I do think that that has started to turn into a degree of anger.

And it's directed in different directions, but a lot of it is directed at Keir Starmer.

And then I think there are things that are more specific to this campaign, including things that have arisen during it, like, for example, the two-tier policing stuff, a sort of pronounced gender dynamic to this, which I'm sure we'll probably come on to.

And there is also this kind of question about who is the most kind of of us, who is the most kind of man of the people, of the place.

And essentially Andy Burnham and Reform are both trying to persuade people that they are that guy.

I've got to say it doesn't massively surprise me because it's kind of got the air of somebody coming in from outside saying,

and telling you what you should or shouldn't be angry about.

So I'm sort of not hugely surprised by that.

I think, I mean, there is a gender divide from what we can see in the polling and from what Canvases is sort of picking up on the doorstep.
